AccelTest
User Manual
For AccelScan model 1100 Serial:
Insert the card face up, with the AccelTest
name going into the scanner first.
6.
The program will tell you that the results have been sent; click
OK
. The card
will come out behind the scanner. Save it so you can use the other side.
If the
assignment also has free-response items, you must score those items
manually; see the instructions below.
7.
Now, the teacher or the next student can scan the next card.
Ending the Scanning Session
When you or your students have finished scanning cards, click
Done
. The
program will ask you to enter a password to unlock AccelTest. (This is so students
cannot access the Record Book or other parts of the program.) Enter the same
password that you use to log in to the software (the default is
admin
); then, click
OK
.
Scoring Assignments Manually
Manual scoring is required when:
• You chose “Manual” as the scoring method when you created the assignment
(see page 36). The teacher must score both assisted-response and free-response
questions manually.
• The assignment has free-response items that were not scored by the scoring
method you chose. AccelTest will score the items that can be scored
automatically using the method you chose (Scanner, Responder or NEO 2); for
the other items, such as essay questions, the software will assume the student
earned all points unless you score those items manually. If you used the Scanner
for scoring, and the assignment has numeric-response items, the program will
mark them incorrect unless you use manual scoring to enter the student’s
answers to those items.
Follow the steps below to score an assignment manually. You can also follow the
steps to change scoring that was already done.
1.
Click the
Record Book
tab and choose your class (see page 70).
If you need to
change the
AccelTest password,
use the Password preference;
see page 137.
Free response items
are numeric-response
questions, short-
answer questions and essay
questions. Assisted-response
items are multiple-choice,
true/false, yes/no, matching
and ranking questions.
